What You Got
We can only run so far
We must only come to a stop
We are seldom what we are
Yet we never knew what we got
We stand proud and tall
Savoring in our own private moments
Knowing no how we ignore
Why do everyone have problems?
We stoop low and grief
Complaining in any given opportune
Do we pack up, do we leave?
How do everyone stay in tune?
I stand low and I sit tall
I do not hear but I listen
I do not clap but I applaud
I am in pieces but I’m not broken
We are never what we are
For every other story to have a full stop
We run and we run again so far
Would you have known what you got?
